Posts: 520@OldAsia: just go for the 3 city special at 55 bucks, since Dastardley is happy with it. I have the slightly pricier one (can't remember the name) but it's not really necessary. StrongVPN is good.

I've had complete access to ISG in China for a couple of months now without a VPN, however, it seems Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. are still blocked. I had the cheap Witopia service which was OK for ISG, but not the others. Friends have recommended Strong VPN, but I cannnot figure out which plan to take. Anybody use it?

Things are very fluid in this matter these days - crackdowns all over the place makes our activities quite fraught with dangers which we've not used to having had in the past - but there you have it.
Just be careful out there - and apologies if I didn't answer your question - but there just is no correct reply IMHO

Am on Witopia - I guess strictly because its cheap!! Something like US$65/year if I remember correctly.
And yes, its slow and unreliable - but nowadays seems like ISG is no longer blocked from here.

Posts: 2Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum. Can anyone recommend a decent agent for leasing an apartment around the Nan Shan area?
Cheers,
CB.

I live in Dongguan, and my apartment lease was handled by my company's HR&A department. The landlady being a Cantonese, when my company spoke to them directly in Cantonese, things were very smooth.
I am not sure whether you are employed by a company, but if so, then you should ask your company's staff to handle the case for you. Much better and less risk.

I thought I would comment on the VPN issue.
I refuse to use free services for fear of getting passwords, data etc intercepted by God knows who.
I tried Witopia for a few months, connection was unreliable and damn slow.
I took a chance and tried StrongVPN and have been very happy with it for several months now. Connection quite reliable (still some disconnections sometimes.) and really fast. Night and day compared to Witopia. Tech support also instant via chat, 24/7, so any problem is fixed very quickly. I highly recommend them.

Posts: 335Hotel registration of guests: legal requirement
What is the legal requirement to register a guest who stays after 11pm?
Does it matter that my guest might arrive, a little after me, in late afternoon, or early evening?
And how convincing will be the reply, "Oops. She forgot to register!"
Does the law vary from province to province, and city to city?
Is it more likely to be enforced in a large city, and hardly ever in a medium sized or small city?
Have any of the bruvvers had a problem with an unregistered guest staying overnight, who has first entered the hotel well before 11pm, and not left the room?
Thanks in anticipation.
P13.
